Und hier ist sie wieder: Die allsonntgägliche Sommerfest-Bestätigung. Es ist schon ein Weilchen her, dass sie zuletzt bei uns waren und es wird dringend wieder Zeit. Denn Bleak Monday haben uns sofort mit ihrem atmosphärischen Synthwave Industrial in ihren Bann gezogen. Gäbe es in Blade Runner eine Szene in einem Vampir-Nachtclub, Bleak Monday würden dort auftreten.
Formed in Karlsruhe in december of 2022, Bleak Monday was inspired by the sound aesthetics of 80s wave music as well as metal genres of the 90s and early 2000s. The result is a unique mix of danceable synthwave, hard industrial sounds and hauntingly bittersweet lyrics. Bleak Moday manages to create a dark, dystopian atmosphere through the use of banging drum computers and analog synthesizers in addition to excessive vocal and guitar effects.
Bleak Monday deliver a unique and energetic live performance that will grab their audience right by the throat and leave them in a trancelike state. All topped with a hint of sex appeal and ecstatic despair.
Since their first show in early 2023 Bleak Monday have managed to gain a notable amount of attention and positive feedback within the scene. This has led them to be invited to share the stage with artists like Das Kinn, Berlin 2.0, Living Gate and The Body.
